FORM 1120: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW

Form 1120

Do I need to file a Form 1120 if the business had no income?

Most folks only think about the annual Form 1120 Tax return, but there’s actually a ton of taxes and tax deadlines for Delaware C-Corps.

And Yes, even bootstrapped pre-revenue startups must pay taxes. You might not be subject to Income Taxes (which are based on profitability) but you will still be subject to a wide variety of other taxes which aren’t always connected to Revenue.

To start, here are 4 Startup Tax Calendars, based on metro:

Quick caveat though, these startup tax checklists aren’t complete. There are actually a bunch of taxes out there, some of which may or may not apply to you (depending on your unique circumstances, of course). Here’s a list of just some of the different types of taxes out there that you may need to consider:

  • Income Tax: this type of tax is what most people think of when they hear taxes. It’s taxes based on your Net Income, or profit.
  • Gross Receipts Tax: some cities, like San Francisco, will tax your Gross Revenue.
  • Franchise Tax: this type of tax is imposed on businesses who just…exist. Yes, for the pleasure of existing, you will be asked to pay a tax. There’s often a minimum fee, and most times it has nothing to do with whether you’ve generated income. The most common type of Franchise Tax for venture backed startups is DE Franchise Tax, which runs $400+ every year.
  • Payroll Tax: if you have employees, you have payroll tax. Be sure to use a payroll provider like Gusto to help you pay the right taxes at the right time, and file all the requisite forms (like the 941s).
  • Sales Tax: if you tangible goods (eg clothes, furniture, widgets, stuff you can hold in your hand), you’ll need to register, pay, and file sales tax. Use Avalara, because like payroll tax, it can get super crazy very quickly.
  • SaaS Tax: see more here.
  • Property Tax: if you have significant property holdings, whether that be land, or even just computers/tables/chairs, you might be subject to property taxes. This type of filing is frequently known as a “571-L.”
  • Foreign Tax: if you have a foreign subsidiary or parent company, you might be subject to withholding tax, or FBAR/5471/5472 reporting. Be sure to get this one right; the penalties for getting it wrong can be $10K+.

A very common misconception is that the CPA or firm that filed your annual tax return (the 1120) will have taken care of all these types of taxes: that is never the case!! It is always the CEO’s responsibility to make sure that these taxes are addressed and paid on time. Granted, a CEO can only know so much… and the CPA can only guess as to which types of taxes a company might be subject to. Hence, it’s really important to sit down with a CPA to make sure that all bases are covered based on your company’s unique situation.

How to get the Form 1120

You can find the official Form 1120 on the IRS’ website. Always go directly to the IRS’ site to get the form, as they tend to have minor changes from year to year. You can get the IRS Form 1120 by clicking here to visit the Internal Revenue Service’s page about Form 1120.

When is the 2023 Form 1120 filing date?

For most US corporations, April 15th is the due date for the Form 1120, the corporate income tax return. However, due to a Federal holiday, the IRS has moved the deadline to April 18th, 2023 and this can be extended until October 16th, 2023.

If a corporation wishes to extend its Form 1120 due date, it can request an extension of time to file. To obtain an extension, the corporation must file Form 7004, “Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File Certain Business Income Tax, Information, and Other Returns,” by the original due date of the return. The extension will generally allow the corporation to file its tax return up to six months after the original due date.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is responsible for enforcing the federal income tax laws and for administering the tax system in the United States. The IRS is a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and is responsible for collecting taxes, enforcing the tax laws, and providing tax assistance to taxpayers.

Why does the Form 1120 due date change some years?

If the due date for filing a tax return falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is moved to the next business day. This means that if April 15 falls on a weekend or legal holiday, the due date for filing the tax return would be the next business day. Recently, a combination of Emancipation day, a holiday in Washington DC, where the IRS is headquartered, and the 15th falling on a weekend, have pushed out the Form 1120 due date. 

Where to file Form 1120

Corporations wishing to file the Corporate Income Tax Form 1120 with the IRS by mail must use the correct mailing address for the IRS based on the corporation’s location, and in some instances, the corporation’s total assets at year end. Visit the IRS’ website here to find the correct mailing address. 

What materials do you need to complete a Form 1120?

To file Form 1120, a startup founder will need several documents and financial statements related to their business. Here’s a good starting list of the materials you’ll need to have on hand to complete Form 1120:

  • IRS Employer Identification Number (EIN) letter: This is the letter you received from the IRS when you obtained your EIN. You’ll need to reference this number on your tax return.
  • Basic business information: This includes your company’s legal name, business address, and other contact information.
  • Shareholder SSN/address info: You’ll need to provide the Social Security numbers and addresses of all shareholders who own more than 5% of the company’s stock.
  • Existing tax communications: This includes any tax documents you’ve already received from the IRS or state tax agencies, such as tax payment vouchers or notices.
  • Prior year tax returns: You’ll need copies of your prior year federal and state tax returns, as they contain information that will be used to calculate your current year taxes.
  • Local tax returns: If your business is required to file local tax returns, such as city or county taxes, you’ll need to have copies of those returns as well.
  • Financial statements: This includes a full year balance sheet, profit and loss statement (also known as an income statement), and general ledger. These statements should accurately reflect your company’s financial position for the tax year.
  • Capitalization table: This document lists all the shareholders of your company, along with their ownership percentages and the type of shares they hold (e.g., common, preferred).

Getting these materials together will help you produce your tax return Form 1120 more quickly and efficiently. One good tip is that it makes sense to keep track of these materials as you create them during the year, so that there isn’t a rush in March trying to get everything pulled together!

And, answering a common question we get:

Do I Need my EIN to Complete a Form 1120?

Yes, you need your EIN to complete a Form 1120. An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify a business entity for tax purposes. It’s quite similar to a social security number for an individual trying to do their taxes. A startup founder will need to provide their EIN when filling out Form 1120, along with other financial and business information such as the date of incorporation, total assets, gross receipts and sales, cost of goods sold (COGS), tax deductions, tax credits, capital gains, dividend, interest, and royalties earned, liabilities, and shareholder equity. The EIN is used by the IRS to track the startup’s tax returns, payments, and other tax-related activities, so make sure you have it on hand when it’s time to do your federal returns. 

Tips for Companies Getting Their Tax Returns Done

Here are some tips for companies trying to prepare their federal tax return:

  • Review Financials: Ensure that all financial records are accurate and up-to-date. Try to answer any open questions and clean up any uncategorized expenses.
  • Know Your Tax Deadlines: Check with your tax preparer regarding which filings they will handle and when they should be submitted.
  • Update Business Information: If your business moved, changed its name or fiscal year, ensure your tax preparer is aware.
  • Consider R&D Tax Credits: If you’re investing in research and development, you could qualify for R&D tax credits. These need to be estimated and supported with proper documentation.
  • Prepare Foreign Subsidiaries’ Financials: If you’ve foreign subsidiaries, their financials need to be ready for reporting on your tax return.
  • NOLs (Net Operating Losses): If your startup is running at a loss, make sure this is properly accounted so it could be applied as a ‘credit’ in profitable future years. Read our article on NOLs to learn more.
  • Explore Other Tax Credits: Depending on the state and industry, you may be eligible for additional tax credits. Consult with a specialist who understands early-stage start-ups to ensure you do not miss any potential savings. Here is our list of the top 20 tax credits for startups in the US.

Remember to work with a trusted tax advisor who specializes in startups to make sure all criteria are met and potential tax incentives aren’t missed.
